11 and 12 respectively in each year. I must here protest against the use
of the words Cholera and Choleraic-Diarrhoea, except it be to signify that
the disease is of the Asiatic type, for at all times such certificates tend to
create alarm in the public mind, and in my opinion it is unwise to do
so, it is a pity that medical men should certify that the case is one of
Asiatic Cholera when it is Diarrhoea. This disease is in itself bad enough,
and is the cause of grea': mortality; but it should not be magnified into
that fearful disease, Asiatic Cholera, which seven years since carried off
from this Parish no less than 612 persons.
